This is probably one of the worst things I've ever written, but I'm falling head over heels in love with it. The action is slowly kicking in and I have a bit of it planned already, so, all I have to say about #Danika is daaaammmmnnnnn!! :3 Okay, I'll shut up now, I love yous alls!! Ps. I watched The Other Sister with my older brother the other night..And I cant even...it's so perfect!! Ahhh!! Okay. -Maxx))

-Anika-

I smiled as we all cuddled up on the couches, watching The Other Sister on the television. Andy was being all gay with Mikey, and Mike just laughed, playing the part. I cuddled with Dani, pulling her in my side. Her hair smelled of sweet meadow flowers and a hint of apples.

We watched as Daniel and Carla were talking about getting married, and both Dani and I were holding a box of tissues, sobbing. It didn't help that I'm sure we're both menstruating, but, it's a good God damn movie.

"Hey, guys. We're here!" Alicia, our totally awesome bus driver who was going to be driving our tour bus as well, called from the front, stopping the bus. I got up and kissed Dani, stretching. We all got up and went to the back, grabbing our luggage.

"When will I see you again?" Dani asked me, her lip trembling and eyes watering. I shook my head and brought her into a hug, my arms wrapping around her waist and hers around the back of my neck. I pulled her into a sweet kiss. It wasn't like any other kiss, it was a kiss of longing. A kiss shows the knowing of misery and sadness along the way. A kiss that wants to hold on and push all of the negativity away, the kiss that wants to encourage strength.

"I don't know, babe. You'll be able to see us on tour... And I pinkie promise to take lots of pictures of bands. Okay?"

"Okay" she whispered back, tears streaming down her face in slow movements.

"I heard that we might be touring with ATL and BVB.... And maybe some Mayday Parade. And damn, with the line up we've got, we might even play with My Chem" I laughed, kissing her cheek, trying to lighten her horrible mood.

"If you get My Chem back together, I swear to god, I'll fuck you every day when you get back. Every single day." She laughed, a smile slowly appearing on her make up smudged face.

"God damn it, I'm gonna have to call and bitch at Gee and Mikey and Toro and Iero to get the band back together for one God forsaken night, just so I can get laid" I winked. I heard Andy yelling for me, telling me that the plane would be here any time. So I gave her the final kiss goodbye, before departing and slowly walking into the airport.

I decided to put on head phones and block out the world, not wanting to do much until tour officially started in less than twenty-four hours. I turned on My Chemical Romance because, why not, and leaned back in the small, uncomfortable airport seat.

"Excuse me, miss?" I heard someone say over my music, a small hand tapping on my shoulder. I opened one eye and saw a little girl around the age of fourteen, wearing a bandana over her bald head, smiling at me. I took out my ear buds and sat up, smiling at her.

"Yes?" I stopped my music and turned to look at the girl. She had dark brown eyes and was so thin that you could see her cheek bones and jaw line clearly.

"My name is Chastity. Uh... I wanted to know if uh... well, you see... I am a huge fa--" she was cut off by someone yelling her name from across the way. She turned around, my gaze following hers, to a woman with long brownish blonde hair and green eyes. She walked over to me and the girl, Chastity, smiling.

"Chas, leave this poor woman alone. I'm sorry, ma'am, but, I'm sure you know how kids are." She laughed, nervously.

"No, ma'am, she's fine, I really don't mind. I was actually just waiting for my brother and friends to hurry up getting airport food" I laughed. "So she can talk if she wants." I smiled up at her, standing up to introduce myself. "I'm Anika Alister, lead singer and occasional guitar or piano player in Simple Love. Lovely to meet you." I put my hand out.

Chastity took my hand and smiled. "I'm a big fan..." she whispered, adjusting the oxygen nubs sticking out of her nostrils. I smiled and brought her into a hug. I felt a wet spot on the front of my shirt starting to form, and I pulled away, seeing her silently crying.

"Oh my gosh, I am sorry! What's wrong?" I asked, scared that I hurt her.

"I wish I had the courage that you do. You're so strong, smart, funny, pretty and brave. You're my hero. " she inhaled a deep breath, trying to control her breathing.

"Awe but, honey, you don't realise, you're my hero." I smiled at her. "I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for fans like you. And, you're so much stronger than me, Chastity. I have fought my battles in life, but none nearly as tough as yours. I can't imagine going to sleep at night with the fear that you wouldn't wake up. You're so strong, and brave, braver than me. And, you're so fucking beautiful. Don't let anyone tell you any different" I kissed her forehead, wiping away a stray tear.

"Just like in your song Rules..." she whispered. "We all are brave in our own way, we just have to find a way, a way around the goddamn rules." She recited lines from one of our older songs making me smile.

"What! I didn't know anyone still listened to Rules!" I smiled. "I loved writing that song. It was so thrilling! You know, I wrote it about my friend going through chemo." I smiled. Her eyes went wide, and she hugged me again.

"You're my hero. I'm fighting for you, and Andy, and Mike. Not for me, not for my mum or pa, but for you. You guys are my saviour. My safe haven." She smiled before her mum told her that their plane was boarding. I kissed her forehead once more and gave her my cell phone number.

"Thank you for talking to her, Anika, right? She never shuts up about your band. Thank you so much!" She smiled at me be off walking away, carrying Chastity's breathing oxygen tank thing.

"Woe, fans? Who was that??" I heard Mike say from behind me. I turned and smiled.

"Her name is Chastity, a cancer kid." I smiled. "Shes amazing" I felt tears forming in my eyes as I blinked them away. Mike hugged me and pulled me over to our line to get into the plane.

Once we got into the plane I steadied myself as we flew into the air. I turned on "The Strays" by Sleeping with Sirens, and sang along with it, closing my eyes, and drifting off into an inevitable sleep. Dreams flooded my eyes but the only things I could think about were Dani, and Chastity.
